The strikes are plentiful–and that's a good thing–when you spend time hanging out with family and friends at Macon's Gold Cup Bowling. This is an impressive recreation venue to not only play a few frames, but to also relax in the lounge, enjoy a snack or soft drink in the concession area, or check out the latest bowling gear in the pro shop. Leagues play frequently.
History buffs who take a special interest in the Civil War will want to make plans to visit the Andersonville National Historic Site. This is the prison camp that became the deathbed for 13,000 Union soldiers who were prisoners of war and suffered extreme neglect that lead to their deaths. The National Prisoner of War museum is also located here. This historic and dramatic attraction is only one mile north of the city of Andersonville, which itself is in close proximity to Macon.
